Excruciating. And excruciatingly funny

I like it! Probably because I *do* it!!!
I particularly liked the understated power of the phrase "Sadly, my wife does not share my love of sticky nose globules. "
That really made me laugh out loud as I sit in front of my desk at work (not, I might add, plucking on a nostril hair - no, I restrict office-plucking to the individually lockable gents loo).

Oo, me too - genuinely laugh-out-loud. I even just laughed at the bit you just quoted.

Great find, Wilma! Thanks for sharing it.
(and since we're getting all confessional, I don't seem to have nose-hairs of this calibre, but I have pretty neat ear-ones and the get the one-by-one pull treatment just the same).

Wilma... what on earth are you doing to find these?
Another classic.
Also quite disgusting.
(And very funny.)
(And I have nothing to confess in this respect.
Thank goodness.)

This time it's thanks and to both menlopublius, for writing it, and whose sole entry on h2g2 this is, and to Wilma for finding it and putting it where we could all be grossed out by it.
So as to share this with the world, the <./>underguide</.> has selected it and it will be Front Paged not too long from now.
Thanks menlopublius, so easy to overdo this kind of thing, but you hit it right on the nose. Hope you return sometime to find it was appreciated.
